Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a vein, deep
in the tissues of the lower extremity. Blood clots commonly form in
the deep veins of the calf or thigh, following total joint replacement
or prolonged immobilization if not treated prophylactically. Left
untreated, these clots can cause disability or become life threatening
if they become mobile (pulmonary embolism) and travel throughout the body.

The ActiveCare+S.F.T. System is a safe and highly effective way to
improve blood flow in the veins and to help prevent DVT. The system
delivers continuous enhanced circulation therapy (C.E.C.T.) to the
lower extremities. It works by applying intermittent, sequential
compression to the legs in a systematic pattern, increasing the speed
of blood flow in the veins and reducing the risk of clot formation.

The ActiveCare+S.F.T. System is the ONLY device that syncs the
compressions to the patient’s individual venous phasic flow and is
clinically proven to be effective in DVT prevention. Unlike standard
IPC, The ActiveCare+S.F.T. System does not require anticoagulants
intake throughout the treatment period.

No, unless your health care provider advises you otherwise, you will
NOT need to be confined to your bed during treatment with the device.
The ActiveCare+S.F.T. System is designed to prevent the onset of DVT.
When a patient has a problem that limits ambulation, The
ActiveCare+S.F.T. System enables the body to simulate venous flow as
in normal walking activities. This unique battery-powered system is
especially lightweight, portable and comfortable to wear, so that you
can disconnect the device from the mains supply for up to 5 hours. You
can take the device with you wherever you go: Walk around, sit
outside, and even travel. In fact, you will be free to do most normal
activities without restriction. Be careful to follow all of your
physician’s instructions regarding post-surgical care.

You may use the device’s carrying strap in order to wear the device.
The strap may be worn over the shoulder or diagonally across the
shoulder, to prevent slipping or discomfort. You may also adjust the
carrying strap and use it to hang the device over a cart or bed side
bar. The device should always be worn together with the leg sleeves.
The sleeves should be worn directly on the skin and allow for two
fingers to be placed both proximally and distally. If more or less can
be placed then it is incorrect.

The batteries in the device recharge themselves from the moment the
mains to the device is connected to the power supply. If the battery
level indicator displays “Battery Low”, all you need to do is
re-connect the device to the power supply until it is recharged. Once
the batteries are fully charged, a message on the device screen will
display that the battery charging has been completed. The device may
be used while the batteries are charging.

The ActiveCare+S.F.T. System can detect problems and will prompt you
to take possible corrective action. Please follow the instructions and
Help Menu on your Error Screen or on the PATIENT MANUAL. If any
problem persists or cannot be solved, please contact your local
ActiveCare provider.

Low battery level (battery lasts up to 5 hours): Re-connect the
device to the power supply and recharge the battery.

Air blockage (usually due to a kink in the tubing): Make sure the
air can move freely through the tubing and that there are no kinks or
blockages. In case of Air blockage please contact your service provider.

Air Leakage (usually due to poorly connected tubing): Make sure the
tubing is well connected to the sleeves and to the device.

The longer you use the device, the better. The ActiveCare+S.F.T
System is designed to be comfortably used on a 24-hour basis and
should be worn for at least 20 hours per day. You may use the device
during normal daily activities. You may take breaks from using the
device for no longer than 30 minutes at a time.

We have developed The ActiveCare +S.F.T. System to be an especially
quiet device so that during normal operation the device is not noisy.
Unless an error message appears on the device, the device should be
working properly if you feel the sleeves filling up with air and then
released a few seconds later.

The device is sensitive to both heat and water. It should not be
covered by pillows or blankets or taken into a wet or steamy
environment, such as in the shower, swimming pool or rain. Make sure
it is used in temperatures between -10°C to +30°C /14°F to +86°F.
